I'm new here. I just walked through the xml dropdown tutorial and I think it's awesome. I would really love it if the main menu items lined up along the top instead of vertically down the side. Has anyone customized it to do that yet?
View 3 RepliesHow can customize the horisontal position of the menubar-buttons? The ones I make always appear at x=0 of the menubar. And if I create some blank ones to sidestep the menubar, they always become small buttons with no text (they still show, though).

View 1 RepliesI just spent too much time perfecting a CSS/JS dropdown menu that I am going to have to port to Flash. I only need one of my buttons to dropdown. Nothing fancy because I am emulating the CSS menu. I've been searching Kirupa but have not found anything that meets my needs of AS2, and rollover expands dropdown.

View 1 RepliesI created a horizontal dropdown menu in Flash CS3 and tried to assemble my site in dreamweaver CS3. So my dropdown menu comes above an image. I want my menu while coming down to slide over my image. I reduced the stage size of my flash file in which i created my menu to suit the horizontal menu buttons size and in my Website i can hardly see my menu coming down but i can see the menu buttons. What should I do to rectify this?
View 5 RepliesI am using spark DropDownLists and I don't want to see any horizontal scrollbars in the dropdown. I'm OK with the dropdown being wider than the anchor, so I have a custom skin that sets popUpWidthMatchesAnchorWidth to false. But I don't want the dropdown to ever be smaller than the anchor. I came up with a solution that sometimes works, but there is something wrong with it. My DropDownList skin is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="[URL]" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:fb="[URL]" alpha.disabled=".5" minHeight="25">
<fx:Metadata>
[Code] .....
This works as expected when the contents of the dropdown are either wider than the anchor or smaller than about 100px, but if I explicitly set the width in the instance of the DropDownList to be something like 200px and the contents of the dropdown are around 150px wide, the dropdown is smaller than the anchor. Basically, it looks like openButton.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth() returns about 100, regardless of what I set the DropDownList's width to be. How can I change this so that I can have multiple DropDownLists with different widths, but always making sure that the dropdown's width is either greater than or equal to the anchor's width?
I want to create a Custom ComboBox in which the DropDown contains the Horizontal Line or you can say HRule immediate after the First Item. here I am providing you the image For that you can see I have used paint to draw the HRule I want component similar like that.

View 3 RepliesI have noticed two differences between spark and mx forms which are causing me some problems. It seems by default the mx forms are arranged to the label is above the form input item. In Spark they are arranged next to each other. Also the label in spark forms are bold by default.For example MX code could be
<mx:Form width="100%">
<mx:FormItem indicatorGap="0">
<s:Label text="label1"/>

View 1 RepliesI'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.
I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.

View 1 Repliesoriginal: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:

I'm currently learning Flash (CS4, AS3) and am creating a game. I have currently 1 flv file with 4 scenes, I then move from left to right and then to scene 2 and go from left to right. This is the game where items pop up that need to be clicked on and you get points.
Is there any way I can combine these onto 1 scene? Flash only allows you to have a maximum of 2880px wide.The reason for this is the transition between the scenes is RUBBISH and that my AS is not working correctly in between scenes (it loses values).
I'm having few scroll bars for some text which is been pulled in dynamically.
How do I change the color of the UI Scrollbar? I'm using CS4.

View 7 RepliesI have a button which when clicked opens a new window. The code is a frame action in the timeline. Short of putting some javaScript in the page that opens, I am unable to set the width and height of the new window. Here's my code
Actionscript Code:
import flash.external.*;var newWindow:String;street_btn.onPress = function () {newWindow = String (ExternalInterface.call ("openWindow", "http://www.unseenproductions.net/images/street/index.html", "win","height=1000,width=700,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no"));};
I've tried defining width+height immediately following the link in the string, but no matter where I put it the window size is unaffected.

View 3 RepliesWhat is the best way to set up a game where I can customize my character? I want to be able to let the user select the clothes, skin color, hair style, etc, and then run a preset animation with that character in it, but am unsure how to set this up in Flash other than building a bunch of buttons with all of the possible options (too time consuming and I bet there's a better way).
View 2 RepliesI am learning Flash CS4, and I would love to be able to customize the key bindings in the ActionScript editor. Ideally I'd like to be able to use Emacs bindings (e.g. CTRL-n to go to next line, CTRL-a to go to beginning of line, etc.), but I don't see any way to set this kind of information. As powerful as I am finding Flash, I am a bit surprised at the limitations of the editor.
